Publisher Description

Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire mysteries are critically acclaimed. Longmire's third outing takes him from Wyoming to Philadelphia to investigate a brutal assault on his daughter Cady. Walt believes her ex-boyfriend is behind the crime, and searches him out. But when he turns up dead, Walt is back to square one. "The quick pace and tangled web of interconnected crimes will keep readers turning pages."-Publishers Weekly

"This series of books is such a delight to read. This one could be subtitled "Walt and the Cheyenne Nation take Philly", but despite the absence of the local Wyoming colorful characters, the fully fleshed out Moretti family more than makes up for it. (Oh, and a significant event that I'd read about in the series finally happens in this book -- can't wait to see if the television series goes in that direction). I enjoy the whole "fish out of water" vibe from the book, although Walt is rarely uncomfortable anywhere -- he finds allies and kindred souls in the most unlikely places. I would have liked more Henry, but a little Henry is better than none at all. I enjoyed learning more about Cady and Vic as well. These books make me laugh out loud and repeat dialogue to my spouse, and this one also left me with a huge lump in my throat at the end. Now racing to get on the list for the next book at the library,"

    " Another fabulous read from Craig Johnson. Walt Longmire in Philly - it took a few pages to envision that one. But the image of Walt, Henry, and Dog driving across country in "Lola" made me laugh. This round, Walt wasn't just the sheriff, he became a father in my eyes. What a wonderful book. "

    " I was surprised that some people did not like this book because it was set in Philadelphia instead of Wyoming. I thought it really added to the series in a unique way. The book was very good and I liked the fact that Longmire was out of his element, far from home and hurting for his daughter at the same time. It made for some interesting moments for Walt. And can I say I love the relationship between Walt and Henry? Its everything a deep friendship should be. Terrific read! "

    " Another excellent entry in a wonderful series. At the point in some series where the main character is temporarily transplanted to another city, the writing often goes awry, but that is not the case here. Fish-out-of-water Sheriff Longmire is just as intriguing in Philadelphia as he is in his native Wyoming. A wonderful read! "

    " Out of Wyoming and pulled to Philadelphia by the assault on his daughter which has put her in a coma. "Bear" is with him and together they "hunt". We are introduced to "Vic's" family and a more than friend/boss begins to grow. As always, i enjoyed this one to the very last page. "
